Speculation: Slow down in Plexconnect development a sign?

Hi all,

 

Now, just to make  it clear, I will forever be in debt to Baa, Roidy and f00b4r for developing Plexconnect. It has transformed my media usage substantively and the community around Plexconnect has been a pleasure to participate in. But I have noticed a slow down in development of late and was wondering if it is a sign that Plex Inc. has let the team know that a Plex client will soon be made available as a native  app on the Apple TV, especially considering the rumblings about an App Store being added to the ATV within the next few months.

No, no sign, nothing like that.

Just feeling that PlexConnect pretty much does what we need... and fine tuning really gets hard, once you are at a given level. Especially  without additional Apple/aTV documentation - see https://forums.plex.tv/topic/146150-collecting-ideas-how-to-modify-xml-items-in-menu-underneath-navbar/ for an example.

Plus less time to spend in front of that computer screen...

:-D

Oh and rumour has it that the new atv will run a different iOS flavour (probably not as stripped down and with new frameworks).

I agree, PlexConnect really does do what it should. I only wish one could delete videos from it and also have an easier way of viewing ratings.

Nevertheless, great app.

and also have an easier way of viewing ratings.


Please explain what you mean?

The ratings from imdb.com or equivalent.

The ratings from imdb.com or equivalent.


Still not sure what you need/want???

First when you say rating do you mean the star rating ie how popular the movie is or do you mean the content rating ie the age rating?

Either way both the star rating and the content rating are displayed on the preplay screen and movies can be filtered by both of these categories.

More... -> By Content Rating
More... -> By Rating

Saying "The ratings from imdb.com or equivalent." doesn't really help... Unless you tell use exactly what you need we can't help you.

Yes, the star ratings. I realize they eventually are displayed but you have to first get to the play screen to see them. Is it not possible to display them as you browse your collection? This is one place where Kodi/XBMC has always been convenient. Plex seems to want you to click a zillion times before getting to the meat. PlexConnect is better that way. I realize you have to get the ratings from PMS so there probably isn’t much that can be done. For example, one filter that would be handy would be to display recent additions and sort them by ratings or vice versa. If you only sort by ratings you end up with older entries.
